Solving Optimal Power Flow Using Modified Bacterial Foraging Algorithm Considering FACTS Devices

In this paper, a new Modified Bacterial Foraging Algorithm (MBFA) method is developed to incorporate FACTS devices in optimal power flow (OPF) problem. This method can provide an enhanced economic solution with the use of controllable FACTS devices. Two types of FACTS devices, thyristor controlled series compensators (TCSC) and Static VAR Compensator (SVC) are considered in this method. The basic bacterial foraging algorithm (BFA) is an evolutionary optimization technique inspired by the foraging behavior of the E. coli bacteria. The strategy of the OPF problem is decomposed in two sub-problems, the first sub-problem related to active power planning to minimize the fuel cost function, and the second sub-problem designed to make corrections to the voltage deviation and reactive power violation based in an efficient reactive power planning of multi Static VAR Compensator (SVC). The specified power flow control constraints due to the use of FACTS devices are included in the OPF problem. The proposed method decomposes the solution of such modified OPF problem into two sub problems’ iteration. The first sub problem is a power flow control problem and the second sub problem is a modified Bacterial foraging algorithm (MBFA) OPF problem. The two sub problems are solved iteratively until convergence. Case studies are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Power Flow Calculation for VSC-based AC/DC Hybrid Systems Based on Fast and Flexible Holomorphic Embedding

The power flow(PF)calculation for AC/DC hybrid systems based on voltage source converter(VSC)plays a crucial role in the operational analysis of the new energy system.The fast and flexible holomorphic embedding(FFHE)PF method,with its non-iterative format founded on complex analysis theory,exhibits superior numerical performance compared with traditional iterative methods.This paper aims to extend the FFHE method to the PF problem in the VSC-based AC/DC hybrid system.To form the AC/DC FFHE PF method,an AC/DC FFHE model with its solution scheme and a sequential AC/DC PF calculation framework are proposed.The AC/DC FFHE model is established with a more flexible form to incorporate multiple control strategies of VSC while preserving the constructive and deterministic properties of original FFHE to reliably obtain operable AC/DC solutions from various initializations.A solution scheme for the proposed model is provided with specific recursive solution processes and accelerated Padéapproximant.To achieve the overall convergence of AC/DC PF,the AC/DC FFHE model is integrated into the sequential calculation framework with well-designed data exchange and control mode switching mechanisms.The proposed method demonstrates significant efficiency improvements,especially in handling scenarios involving control mode switching and multiple recalculations.In numerical tests,the superiority of the proposed method is confirmed through comparisons of accuracy and efficiency with existing methods,as well as the impact analyses of different initializations.

Identification of the Worst-case Static Voltage Stability Margin Interval of AC/DC Power System Considering Uncertainty of Renewables

Calculation of static voltage stability margin(SVSM)of AC/DC power systems with lots of renewable energy sources(RESs)integration requires consideration of uncertain load growth and renewable energy generation output.This paper presents a bi-level optimal power flow(BLOPF)model to identify the worst-case SVSM of an AC/DC power system with line commutation converter-based HVDC and multi-terminal voltage sourced converter-based HVDC transmission lines.Constraints of uncertain load growth’s hypercone model and control mode switching of DC converter stations are considered in the BLOPF model.Moreover,uncertain RES output fluctuations are described as intervals,and two three-level optimal power flow(TLOPF)models are established to identify interval bounds of the system worst-case SVSM.The two TLOPF models are both transformed into max–min bi-level optimization models according to independent characteristics of different uncertain variables.Then,transforming the inner level model into its dual form,max–min BLOPF models are simplified to single-level optimization models for direct solution.Calculation results on the modified IEEE-39 bus AC/DC case and an actual large-scale AC/DC case in China indicate correctness and efficiency of the proposed identification method.

Graph Computing Based Distributed Parallel Power Flow for AC/DC Systems with Improved Initial Estimate

The sequential method is easy to integrate with existing large-scale alternating current(AC)power flow solvers and is therefore a common approach for solving the power flow of AC/direct current(DC)hybrid systems.In this paper,a highperformance graph computing based distributed parallel implementation of the sequential method with an improved initial estimate approach for hybrid AC/DC systems is developed.The proposed approach is capable of speeding up the entire computation process without compromising the accuracy of result.First,the AC/DC network is intuitively represented by a graph and stored in a graph database(GDB)to expedite data processing.Considering the interconnection of AC grids via high-voltage direct current(HVDC)links,the network is subsequently partitioned into independent areas which are naturally fit for distributed power flow analysis.For each area,the fast-decoupled power flow(FDPF)is employed with node-based parallel computing(NPC)and hierarchical parallel computing(HPC)to quickly identify system states.Furthermore,to reduce the alternate iterations in the sequential method,a new decoupled approach is utilized to achieve a good initial estimate for the Newton-Raphson method.With the improved initial estimate,the sequential method can converge in fewer iterations.Consequently,the proposed approach allows for significant reduction in computing time and is able to meet the requirement of the real-time analysis platform for power system.The performance is verified on standard IEEE 300-bus system,extended large-scale systems,and a practical 11119-bus system in China.

A Novel Topology of Single-Phase AC-DC Integrated Boost-SEPIC (IBS) Converter Using Common Part Sharing Method (CPSM) for High Step-Up Applications

A novel topology of Integrated Boost-SEPIC (IBS) AC-DC converter using common part sharing method (CPSM) has been proposed in this paper. Conventional boost converters with bridge rectifier configuration are inefficient due to limited voltage step-up ratio which may not be applicable for high step-up applications as in the case of micro generators. The proposed IBS topology is based on the common part sharing method capable of operating both for positive and negative half cycle of the input signal. Result and simulation were conducted using PSIM environment. The proposed AC-DC IBS topology eliminates the requirement of bridge rectifier achieving high efficiency (about 99%), improved power factor (0.75, leading) and lower THD (about 38.8%) which is within IEEE standard.

Conversion of hourly dispatch cases derived using DC optimal power flow(DCOPF)to AC power flow(ACPF)case is often challenging and requires arduous human analysis and intervention.This paper proposes an automated two-stage approach to solve ACPF formulated from DCOPF dispatch cases.The first stage involved the use of the conventional Newton Raphson method to solve the ACPF from flat start,then ACPF cases that are unsolvable in the first stage are subjected to a hotstarting incremental method,based on homotopy continuation,in the second stage.Critical tasks such as the addition of reactive power compensation and tuning of voltage setpoints that typically require human intervention were automated using a criteriabased selection method and optimal power flow respectively.Two datasets with hourly dispatches for the 243-bus reduced WECC system were used to test the proposed method.The algorithm was able to convert 100%of the first set of dispatch cases to solved ACPF cases.In the second dataset with suspect dispatch cases to represent an extreme conversion scenario,the algorithm created solved ACPF cases that satisfied a defined success criterion for 77.8%of the dispatch cases.The average run time for the hotstarting algorithm to create a solved ACPF case for a dispatch was less than 1 minute for the reduced WECC system.
